Lesson on 20th May: Sawm
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009The fourth pillar of Islam is Sawm. Today we considered the idea of fasting and that it is not just about feeling hungry but connecting with God and achieving “God-consciousness” (taqwa).
Your homework was to find out a little more about Sawm. Particularly think about who does the fasting, when they do it, what happens if people slip up. Look at some of these links and try to find something really interesting!
